A Survey of Joshua

In our survey of Scripture thus far, we have covered three great eras or periods: the primeval period (Genesis 1–11), the patriarchal period (Genesis 12–50), and the exodus period (Exodus through Deuteronomy). As we embark on a study of Joshua, we enter the historical section of the Old Testament, the first part of which we shall call the period of the rise of the Hebrew nation. This era is covered in five books—Joshua through 2 Samuel. In the book of Joshua, the Hebrews invade, conquer, distribute, and settle down in the land of Canaan. The events recorded in Joshua took place during approximately twenty-five years. All the way through it, one person stands out as God's appointed leader and model—the man from whom the book gets its name.

Each of us can remember a time when we failed to do something we said we would do. Somewhere along the way, our good intentions got sidetracked. Circumstances became difficult, and we failed to follow through. Those who counted on us were disappointed in us, and we felt guilty.

The Bible includes several examples of people who blew it and later longed to be reinstated. As we’ll learn in this lesson, young John Mark needed a second chance to prove himself to Paul and Barnabas after deserting them on their first missionary journey.
